Library's collection Library's IT development CancelSequence of acquisition indicates several stages which are passed by every
second language learner until they reach the target-like version. In another word,
before a learner reaches the target-like version, they will construct some types of
errors, called Transitional Construction. Moreover, beside a level for grammatical
or abstract rule learning, teenagers are also a level where their cognitive,
perceptual, thinking and body are developed. Therefore, the writer is interested to
analyze whether along with their development, they can get to the high stage of
developmental process in constructing interrogative construction. Hence, the
writer uses Henning Wode?s research of some major stages in the L2
developmental sequence for Wh- and Yes/No question construction in order to
identify in which stage his respondents are. Besides, the write also uses a theory
of errors in order to follow some steps in analyzing errors and a theory of
grammatical categories in order to analyze some grammatical errors on the
writer?s data. Furthermore, to get the data, the writer chooses some young
teenagers at three courses; they are PPB, UNI, and MEC. In order to control the
criteria of respondents, the writer uses self- checklist, which identifies
respondent?s characteristic. Moreover, the writer also uses worksheet in order to
get the data. There are thirty worksheets, which are analyzed. From the analysis,
the writer identifies some respondents construct some different types of
transitional construction in Yes/No and Wh- question construction which are not
stated in the Wode?s research. Moreover, there are also some grammatical errors;
these kinds of errors are not also described in Wode?s research. Due to the fact
that some respondents construct different types of transitional construction from
Wode?s research, the writer argues Wode?s research should be added by his
findings. Furthermore, the results of analysis show the dominant stage in Yes/No
question construction is at stage 2, and the dominant stage in Wh-question
construction is also at stage 2.
